Approachable, fruit driven wines, fashioned for enjoying today, preferably with friends or at a discreet meeting are a Tryst! In making the Tryst, emphasis is placed on sustainable land management and environmental concerns. Grapes are destemmed and crushed upon arrival to the winery. Varietal components are kept separate throughout the vinification. After seven to fourteen days on skins for extraction, the must is fermented in tank and pressed before transfer to older French oak barriques for malolactic and nine to twelve months maturation. On completion each barrel is blind tasted and classified, if selected for inclusion it is racked to tank for the final assemblage. Approx 14.0%
